Oh boy. I have hesitated to post 'cuz it's really embarassing especially with all you hardcore dudes around RA. I can usually win the goofiest, most embarassing, worst, what were you thinking race photo contests with this one. In my defense, it was my first half, it was 30 degrees, I'm from south FL where it rarely gets below 45 and I detest cold. Oh and most of it was throwaway clothes.
Worst Race Photo Ever
Yeah, that's really me crossing the start. It was Disney 2006. Worst part is that's also the race where I forgot my chip and had to go back to the hotel then get back in time for the start. I've spent the years since trying to HTFU when it comes to cold weather but it hasn't been that cold since down here. I did finish wearing much less than what I started.
Do I win?  |

White wienie bikini dude was in the #1 spot and you just knocked him out.
By the way, I consider you hardcore (in a puritanical sense ) wearing all them clothes.

I LOVE this picture. I don't like cold weather either, and unfortunately, I live in Iowa where it gets pretty bad in the winter.

I ran the 1/2 that year too! It was really cold! I wish that I was as bundled at the start (I wore flannel PJs over my running gear). |
